Genomic Capabilities CNAG is a national non-profit sequencing and genomic analysis center based in Barcelona. It operates five second-generation sequencers and third-generation nanopore platforms, supported by a data processing center with 10,000 computing nodes and 14 petabytes of storage. It leads large-scale cancer, rare disease, and biodiversity projects, offering end-to-end sequencing and analysis capabilities for health and research partners.

Quality Certifications CNAG holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, alongside BBMRI-ERIC recognition as an expert biobanking analysis center. These credentials signal standardized, validated workflows suitable for regulated clinical and translational projects. They provide reassurance to CROs and pharmaceutical clients seeking high data quality and traceability.

European Certification CNAG achieved European certification as a Certified Service Provider for Dovetail services in March 2025, becoming the first in Europe to offer these capabilities. This expands access to advanced genome assembly and curation workflows for research partners. The distinction differentiates CNAG for premium data products and accelerated project timelines.

Collaboration Engine As a public national center with NGO-like collaboration orientation, CNAG frequently partners with national and international health institutions and research centers and has been part of OmicsTech infrastructure since 2014. This collaborative ecosystem supports joint genomics projects, multi-institution clinical studies, and biobanking-related research under standardized conditions. The BBMRI-ERIC recognition reinforces its suitability for cross-border biobanking collaborations.

Market Opportunity CNAG targets high-impact areas such as cancer diagnostics, rare disease gene discovery, and biodiversity genomics, offering services appealing to pharma, biotech, hospitals, and clinical labs looking for sequencing, data analysis, and integrated genomics solutions. Its EU location, public funding model, and scalable infrastructure enable participation in multi-center and funded projects with data-intensive requirements. Its proven track record and certifications help de-risk partnerships and accelerate time-to-result.
